my hubby wants a cake for this Sunday, for a friend of his that will be coming to visit before he heads home to South Africa. He has been in the states working for four years and this will be the first time he has gotten to go home.
Don't know what kind of cake he likes - so probably will go with carrot DH favorite. But having hard time coming up with decorating ideas. Won't have too much time to spend on cake - will be taking a all day class on gum paste flowers on Saturday (plus work full time job and Friday have to take son to Dr.)
Would like to put some message or something on cake ... they call each other "brother from another mother".
Anyway sorry so long 
I saw this cake on CC:

Maybe you could do a sheet cake 1/2 American Flag 1/2 African
Or a cake in the shape of Africa
